Answer:
Let us assume that 3+2√5 is rational.
Such that there exists two integers a and b such that 3+2√5 = a/b.
2√5 = a/b - 3
2√5 = a - 3b /b
√5 = a - 3b /2b
We know that √5 is irrational.
But it is equal to a-3b/2b where a and n are integers and so it is rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational.
Thus contradiction occurred because of our wrong assumption that 3+2√5 is rational.
HENCE 3+2√5 IS IRRATIONAL.
